Australian National Botanic Gardens, Clunies Ross Street, Acton, ACT

This two day workshop will introduce participants to grassy ecosystems, their diversity, ecology and provide the skills and information required to positively identify a range of common grassland plants.

The ACTEW Water Source Water Protection Program (SWPP) aims to reduce risks to water quality within the ACT's drinking water catchments. Community and non-government organisations, individual property owners, government agencies and local councils are eligible to apply for funding through the SWPP grants scheme.

If you are a land manager or primary producer with an interest in building soil carbon as a way of managing the effects of climate change, you should come along to workshops being run by the Organic Federation of Australia and supported by the ACT Regional Landcare Facilitator Initiative and the ACT Natural Resource Management Council. Besides building soil carbon, the workshop also deals with "best practice" methods to mitigate the effects of climate change.

A practical, hands‐on field day to answer your questions about:
